Setting Up The Stand

Fully Assembled View

Specifications

We recommend using an optional Roland drum mat (TDM series) to prevent  scarring or discoloration of flooring 

 

*

by the rubber feet of the stand.

A very solid and stable stand featuring ball clamps that allow precise adjustments for all pads 

and cymbals.

Cables are inside the pipes, providing a clean look and quick breakdown or setup.

Important in Setting Up the Stand

Make sure to firmly tighten all hand knobs and bolts after you have assembled the stand and attached any compo-

 

*

nents. You should probably also try to make a habit of checking and retightening them if necessary before every 
performance. You risk injury if you have loose screws or clamps, since a pad or component can fall unexpectedly.

When setting up or storing the stand, be careful not to pinch your hands or fingers in the stand joints.

 

*

Do not apply undue force to the hand knobs, pipes, mounts, etc.

 

*

Do not open the stand wider than 120 degrees outward.  Be sure

 

*

 

the 

two pipes at the ends tare no more than 1.6 meters apart. Doing so can 
damage the cables inside the stand or cause the stand to fall over. 

Never pull on any cables with excessive force.

 

*

There are labels on the ends of the cables  allowing easy connection  to your sound module.  

 

*

For about connections, refer to the owners manual that came with your sound module.
